SVR not come down after 3 interest rate cuts. SVR not come down after 3 interest rate cuts. Savings rates have come down. SVR goes up immediately interest rates go up. Gross profiteering imo. Reviewed on: 25th March 2025

Review of the Hanley Economic Building Society, Mortgages:

Hanley is really reliable and on your side

5
I've had a fixed rate mortgage with Hanley since 2015, the first term ended in 2020 and the second one will end this December. I found Hanley very helpful in explaining what my different options were and I've been fortunate in getting a very reasonable rate throughout. Given my age (75) my mortgage options were limited but Hanley gave me a very competitive rate (currently 2.9%) despite this. Reviewed on: 6th February 2025

Professional and outstanding service

The service from the initial contact through to the mortgage completion was outstanding. Jane, the mortgage advisor was very professional, listened to us and showed us the possible mortgage options. There was no pressure and it was clear that Jane wanted us to make a decision that was right for us. Reviewed on: 8th April 2025

At last! A provider that understands my needs.

5
Over the past 2 years I have spend countless hours exploring various options for Equity Release. While I have adequate funds invested in my pension I could show little income to providers because I have been financially sensible saving into and then living off my ISA investments. The Hanley was the only provider I could find that was savvy enough to realise that people with solid investments should be able to use those investments as evidence of income potential and therefore allow a lifetime interest only mortgage product to be offered Reviewed on: 27th March 2025

Very helpful.

Jane was great - very helpful. I've heard a lot of horror stories on self build mortgage companies but Jane couldn't have been more helpful. I'm sure I was a nightmare repeatedly asking the same questions but clarification was always provided. Reviewed on: 26th March 2025
